She Name: Anne LLOYD Sex: F 1 Immigration: 1637 Boston, Suffolk Co., Mass. Emigration: ABT 1658 England Note: no date, but soon after her 2nd husband died. Death: ABT 1660 in Seven Oaks, Cheshire, England Note: no date, but "a year or two" after returning to England. Note: 1"A descendant of King John and Llywelyn Fawr ap Iorwerth and his son David, princes of North Wales, and a daughter of George Lloyd, Bishop of Chester, and Anne Wilkinson, Anne Lloyd was first married to Thomas Yale, a distant cousin also descended from King John and Llywelyn and David of North Wales. Yale died about 1619 and before 1628 Anne married Theophilus Eaton (ca. 1590-1657/8), a London merchant who brought Anne, her Yale children, and other family members to Boston in 1637 and soon thereafter to New Haven. Theophilus was the first governor of the New Haven Colony, 1643-58, and a virtual partner with Rev. John Davenport - also of royal descent, but with a much smaller notable progeny (at least as yet traced) - in the Colony's founding and theocratic governance. After Eaton's death Anne returned to England and died a year or two later at Seven Oaks, Cheshire.""Her second husband is thus the first "major colonial figure" associated with Anne. The second is her grandson, Elihu Yale (1649 -1721), East India Company official, the philanthropist for whom Yale College and University are named, and the son of David Yale and Ursula Knight. Anne Yale, daughter of Thomas and Anne, married Edward Hopkins (ca. 1600-1657), governor of Connecticut , but was long insane and apparently left no issue. The entire later American progeny of Anne (Lloyd) (Yale) Eaton is derived through only two of her children - the immigrant Thomas Yale of New Haven, who married Mary Turner, and Hannah Eaton, second wife of William Jones (ca. 1624-1706), deputy governor of both the New Haven Colony (1664) and Connecticut (1691-97). Thomas Yale left three sons and daughters who married into the Ives, Talmadge, Bishop and Pardee families of New Haven and left descendants. Mrs. Jones left two sons who survived and four daughters who married, including Elizabeth, wife of John Morgan of New London, brother of an ancestor of the late Diana, Princess of Wales."1

He George was graduated from Jesus College, Cambridge with his DD in 1598. In1600 he was consecrated Bishop of Sodor and Man, moving in Dec. 1604 toChester, where he reversed the anti-Puritan policy of his Welsh predecessorRichard Vaughan.His house in Chester, known as "Bishop Lloyd's House" is still standing.

He was Bishop of Chester and was buried under the choir of the cathedral. He reversed the anti-Puritan policy of his predecessor who was later Bishop of London. A tablet, now missing, was erected in the cathedral which freely translated from the Latin reads:

Untimely death sealed within this tomb the heart of George Lloyd, whose memory Chester holds in reverence. A native of Wales, he became a Doctor of Theology at Cambridge University and a leader of theologians. . . He died greatly lamented. Neither in his life nor in his death was there any shame.1
